THE Charleston Nc,cs and Courier shows
prompt and hearty appreciation of "the
broad and generous words Of Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, and Senator Conger, OF
Michigan, in the United States Senate on
Wednesday last" on which occasion Senator
Hoar said that "there is nothing which tests
either individual courage and manhood, or
the power Of endurance and heroic spirit OF
community like an earthquake" The
Charleston editor says
II goes to the heart Of every one of us to be
told, in the glowing phrases OF the usually re-
served senator from Massachusetts, that There
is nothing Of which we have more occasion to
be proud in American history than the spirit
Of heroism and gallantry with which the
people OF Charleston "have metthat calamity"
If there had been no other reason, Senator
Hoar would have been glad to mark his re.
gard for the courage of the people of Charles
ton by making any matter which is for their
benefit an exception to the ordinary rules of
| legislation. These be LOFTY sentiments ex'
| pressed in noble words
Senator Conger expressed his desire that
the appropriation for the jetties should
| pass las one Of the means Of encouraging
the people of Charleston, dcsolated by an
earthquake, to go on with their rebuilding
to give them heart and courage to remain
in their city and rebuild 1t again" The
| NcWS and Courier adds that
1t is hard for those who have not been
stricken, as Charleston is stricken, to under
stand how loving phrase or generous deed
| pucks up rancor by the roots aud dulls the
edge of prejudice. The old political fights can
be renewed, and differences of policy will re-
main. But In the thick of 1t nil there will
always be the saving recollection that our
fellow countrymen were our friends in time OF
trouble, and have done unto us as we, God
helping, would have done unto them.
We hope the time is not far distant when
the south will know that her friends in the
north are not confined to one party, and
that 1t is not hatred OF the south which
prompts such men as Hoar and Conger to
demand that our national elections shall
not be sham elections.

81 HAVE known Washington since 1915;
have resided here every winter since 1860;
have lived in various other cities in New
England, the middle states, the northwest,
and the south; have Travelled in Europe, in
Australia, in South and Central America
and Canada, and I give IT as my opinion
that there is not on this globe more tenn
perate, moral, well ordered community of
two to three hundred thousand persons
than the present population of the District
of Columbia.n This statement was made
yesterday by a gentleman of the best re-

1t Will Pay You to Do 1t!
Our adver Gisement ap.
pears in this space every
Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. We shall not bore
you by repetition, as we
change our ad. every day,
andwe always have some-
thing to say that may inter-
est you. Right here we have
something of interest to say
to you. At the beginning of
the season we laid in a stock
Of English and American
Kersey Overcoats, large
enough to stock an ordinary
clothing house; and while
in our custom department
Kerseys were in great de-
mand, yet they did not
move as rapidly as we ex-
pected they would from our
ready-made stock. We can't
account for this, as the coats
on our counters have all the
"snap" and tone of custom
made garments. But we
have long since given up
the idea of trying to explain
the whims of fashion; it's
enough for our purpose to
know there are sixty-seven
of these fashionable over
coats lin brown, blue, and
black co]ors) left. You can't
duplicate any one of the lot
in this city for less than $25;
but as SIS seems to be the
popular price for an over
coat, We'll let them go at
that, regardless of the origi-
nal cost. We have learned to
stand a loss gracefully, and
we fall back on the consol-
ing reflection tn at our
friends will benefit there
by. We commence taking
an inventory of stock to-
day. 1t will be some days
before we reach the over
coats, and until then you
have an opportunity ofpro-
viding yourself with an
overcoat combining all the
style, elegance, and quality
Of material of the finest GUS
tom-made garment for the
sum of $l5.

AN extra session of Congress, for tariff
reductions, is still talked of as imminent.
There is no particular objection to special

newly elected president to succeed him un-

military force TO prevent his taking posses

almost any odds if be believed himself justi-
fird iherein If NJ. Clemeuceau could carry
the election, or the Boulanger extremists
succeed in electiDg the general through
combinations with other sections, there will
certainly be row, and bloody one at

and fractional feeling is wrought up to a
point where the slightest thing may cause
